Acts 8:37
:::The resemblance is only superficial. See the article [[fallacy of analogy]]. The differences between Catholic and Mormon theology are profound, not to mention the fact that Catholicism is [[monotheistic]] and the Mormon faith posits a multiplicity of separately distinct god-beings comparable to the doctrine of [[Cosmic Humanism]]. --[[User:Dataclarifier|Dataclarifier]] ([[User talk:Dataclarifier|talk]]) 15:59, 7 October 2019 (EDT)

::::Not that far off; the idea of a ceremonial cleansing ritual necessary for salvation for a subject who hasn't given consent is ridiculous. [[User:RobSmith|RobS]]<sup>[[User talk:RobSmith|De Plorabus Unum]]</sup> 16:23, 7 October 2019 (EDT)

:::::Also, it might be worth noting that several manuscripts and numerous versions of the modern Bible include verse 37 in Acts 8:35-39. The NIV just leaves out this verse:
::::: {{cquote|See, here is water. What hinders me from being baptized?”
[37] '''Then Philip said, “If you believe with all your heart, you may.”'''
'''And he answered and said, “I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God.”'''
[38] So he commanded the chariot to stand still. And both Philip and the eunuch went down into the water, and he baptized him.}}
:::::This verse makes it clear that the belief is required prior to baptism. --[[User:DavidB4|<font color="ForestGreen">DavidB4</font>]] <sup>([[User talk:DavidB4|TALK]])</sup> 16:42, 7 October 2019 (EDT)
